don't drive it anywhere other than to a repair shop or parts store at low speed and don't make any sharp turns.

be aware that the u-joints turn the same in 2wd as 4wd, not as much stress, but they're still turning.

No big deal bud. Just next time, please add the new info to your original thread. Thanks Multiple threads get confusing and just make it confusing for those of trying to help, and anyone that does a search. Hope you understand.
